The Foothills Community Church in Molalla, Oregon, has adopted Pliant Technologies’ MicroCom XR Wireless Intercom.
Supplied by full-service production, rental and sales company Pro Connect Group, the project was led by principal and account executive Justin Blake Hamilton, who chose MicroCom XR for its value, performance and simplicity.
‘MicroCom XR was the perfect fit for this church because it’s easy to use, affordable, reliable and provides flawless coverage,’ he says.
‘MicroCom XR allows the congregation to communicate from the production booth, through the lobby, and into the sanctuary. Since the install, they haven’t had a single issue with the system.’
Foothills Community Church needed a compact but capable wireless communication system that could support a small, distributed production team. The MicroCom XR system connects camera operators, the lighting technician, video director and graphics operator across the 125ft distance from the auditorium, and separated by the church lobby and walls.
Hamilton praised the MicroCom XR system not only for its consistent audio quality, but also for its rugged hardware and intuitive user experience, which he claims are key factors in the success of installations like this one, where full-time technical staff might not always be present. ‘What really sets MicroCom XR apart is the combination of broadcast-grade audio clarity and a tough, compact build that stands up to everyday use,’ he says. ‘It’s a plug-and-play solution that doesn’t require a steep learning curve, which is crucial for churches and small teams.’
As an authorized Pliant Technologies dealer, Pro Connect Group also sees MicroCom XR as a standout solution for clients seeking high-performance wireless intercom at an accessible price point: ‘Pliant is fantastic,’ Hamilton asserts. ‘The team is responsive and always ready to help – whether it’s a product question or tech support. That kind of responsiveness combined with such reliable, high-quality gear, makes them an easy choice for us.’
